Hi there. I'm Elle. Recently supplied with a BA in English and Creative Writing from the University of Iowa, I am at Divine Caroline (or should I say @DivineCaroline) to bring you exciting social media content and a little writing. Say hello to me on the Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/G+ sometime! I am an avid social media user, and-- most importantly-- a writer, reader, traveler, friend, and overall life enthusiast. My personal style reflects my hobbies: a little all over the place. Most days you’ll catch me in yoga pants, but when I’m feeling hip I usually end up sporting a lot of denim on denim, red lipstick, and woodland creatures. I love art you can hold, my dogchild Romeo, graphic novels, unlikely tattoos, rock climbing, and Halloween. Let's connect.

The online consignment store concept is beautiful for two reasons. One: You can buy clean, stylish clothing at remarkably discounted prices without the mess of digging through a consignment shop. And two: If you have clothes that you never wore or have barely worn and that just sit in your closet, you can sell them for cash and often store credit. Check out the services offered by these online consignment stores to see which one best fits your buying and selling needs.

Online shopping was already one of our favorite hobbies, and then monthly subscription boxes happened. What's better than a collection of surprise items arriving at your doorstep every month or so at prices that beat in-store options? The amazing little grab bags we found are full of trendy must-have clothing and accessories. Even if you have time to shop every month, having a personal stylist who pushes your fashion boundaries is totally worth the splurge.

The biggest problem with tattoos? Commitment. You're young; tattoos are forever. We get it. But every once in a while we are willing to bet you scroll through a dozen Pinterest boards of cute tattoos and wonder if you should get one. Or four. Luckily, there is another way. Henna tattoos have been around for more than 6,000 years and are cooler than ever. The tradition of letting a plant paste temporarily dye your skin and hair originated in Egypt and has left its mark on many cultures in the Middle East and India. Henna tattoos leave a stain that typically lasts between one and three weeks, depending on quality and after-care. Check out these seriously cool designs before your next henna sesh or henna DIY. Note: The henna tattoos in this slideshow that appear "black" haven't had the paste removed from the skin yet. Henna is never black, and anyone who uses "black henna" is using a paste that is toxic to your skin.
